Once constructed, access to the formed State highway will be restricted and controlled to provide safe and efficient movement of traffic and for associated activities that may be required. The existing conditions applying to Designation 6750 that relate to previous works associated with bus shoulder improvements are proposed to be removed through the alteration to this designation.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AUTHORITY

Give details of the effects that the public work (or project or work) will have on the environment, and the ways any adverse effects will be mitigated.

The AEE describes the existing environment (Section 4), the environmental effects of the Project (Section 9, and Volume 3) and proposed methods to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects of the works associated with the Project (Section 10). The actual and potential positive effects of the Project are: . Effects on traffic and transportation during operation of the Project. This includes benefits for private vehicles, public transport, walking and cycling arising from improved travel times, decreases in vehicle numbers on local roads, safety benefits, quicker and more reliable public transport journeys, and additional shared use paths; . Potential benefits to air quality on an airshed scale, resulting from vehicles relocating to more free flowing roads after the Project is complete; . Proposed stormwater management devices treating significantly more stormwater than is currently the case; . Benefits arising from the identification and possible removal of contaminated material and soil; . Accessibility and connectivity benefits for local residents, leading to positive social impacts.

The actual and potential adverse effects of the Project are: Temporary adverse effects . Effects on archaeology and historic heritage during construction are expected to be low to nil; . Noise effects during construction which will need to be managed; . Vibration effects during construction which could be significant for some properties, and will need to be managed; . Effects on terrestrial ecology (vegetation, avifauna, lizards, bats) during construction, which are expected to be, at worst, moderate to minor, depending on the specific location; . Effects on air quality arising from discharges of dust during construction, which could create significant amenity and nuisance effects for short periods of time; . Effects on traffic and transportation during construction of the Project. This includes speed limit reductions, lane narrowing, prevention of some transport movements, and additional construction traffic; . Construction water effects due to an increased risk of sediment being discharged to water bodies during construction activities, including works within streams and other water courses; . Effects on freshwater ecology due to increased sedimentation during construction; . Effects on landscape and visual amenity during construction, arising from earthworks and the removal of vegetation. Overall, these are expected to be very low to very high (depending on the location); . Effects associated with disturbance of contaminated land, which will be managed; . Effects associated with working within the closed Rosedale Landfill, including hazards from refuse, gas and leachate. These could be significant without appropriate management; . Social effects during construction, such as annoyance and disruption from noise, vibration, dust, traffic disruption, and business disruption; Permanent adverse effects . Operational noise effects will in most instances be similar to those which would have been experienced without the Project. Nonetheless, noise barriers and building modification are proposed in some locations; . Effects on archaeology and historic heritage during operation are expected to be low to nil; . Vibration effects during operation are expected to be negligible for all receivers; . Increased stormwater arising from additional impervious surfaces. This will be managed using additional stormwater structures, but may lead to increases in peak flood levels in some locations (with reduced peak flood levels in other locations); . Effects on freshwater ecology due to increased stormwater runoff and additional culverting. These effects are expected to be less than minor; . Effects on landscape and visual amenity arising from the loss of open space and vegetation, which are expected to be moderate to low, (depending on the location);

4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AUTHORITY

. Negligible effects arising from the completion of works within Rosedale Landfill possibly impacting on groundwater recharge; . Localised social effects arising from the impacts on reserves. These effects range from minor to significant. Businesses will also be affected by the need to relocate, or effects on their access; . Effects on cultural heritage and Tangata Whenua values, which will be mitigated by managing effects on water, ecology, and identifying opportunities for Tangata Whenua to exercise kaitiakitanga;

Give details of the extent to which alternative sites, routes, and methods have been considered.

Section 7 of the AEE sets out the alternatives considered for the Project.

Give details of the reasons why the public work (or project or work) and the designation (or alteration) are reasonably necessary for achieving the objectives of the requiring authority.

The work and alteration of the designation are reasonably necessary for achieving the objectives of the requiring authority because: The NZ Transport Agency’s objective under Section 94 of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 (LTMA) is ‘to undertake its functions in a way that contributes to an effective, efficient, and safe land transport system in the public interest’. The work, as part of the Project will assist the NZ Transport Agency to meet this objective. The Project objectives are as follows: 1. To help facilitate interregional travel between Auckland and Northland by completing the Western Ring Route to motorway standard;

2. To improve connectivity of the SH1 & SH18 interchange; 3. To improve safety, efficiency, reliability and the capacity of a. SH1 between SH18 and Albany; and b. SH18 between SH1 and Albany Highway.

4. To provide safe walking and cycling facilities adjacent to SH1 and SH18 and connections to local transport networks; 5. To extend the Northern Busway from Constellation Bus Station to the Albany Bus Station. The work subject of the alteration to Designation 6750 (NOR1) is particularly focussed on addressing Project objectives 1, 2 & 3. The alteration to Designation 6750 is necessary because not all of the work will be within the footprint of the existing designation. NOR1 will secure the land required for the Project and will enable the Transport Agency to carry out the necessary works. The principal reasons for adopting the designation process to facilitate this Project are: . It will allow the Transport Agency to achieve its statutory objective under the LTMA; . It is necessary for the Transport Agency to achieve the specific Project objectives; . The altered designation will allow the Transport Agency and/or its authorised agents to undertake the Project in accordance with the altered designation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (and any relevant operative district plan); . State highway 1 is already designated in this location and an alteration to designation is the only method to expand the footprint of Designation 6750 and ensure it authorises the work for the Project; . It will allow land required for the Project to be identified in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (and any relevant operative district plan) to give a clear indication of the intended use of the land; . The alteration to Designation 6750 in concert with the associated notices of requirement 2-6, enables the Project to be undertaken in a comprehensive and integrated manner; and . The alteration to Designation 6750 protects the proposed route from future development which may otherwise preclude the construction of the Project.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AUTHORITY

The actual and potential adverse effects of the Project are: Temporary adverse effects . Effects on archaeology and historic heritage during construction are expected to be low to nil; . Noise effects during construction which will need to be managed; . Vibration effects during construction which could be significant for some properties, and will need to be managed; . Effects on terrestrial ecology (vegetation, avifauna, lizards, bats) during construction, which are expected to be, at worst, moderate to minor, depending on the specific location; . Effects on air quality arising from discharges of dust during construction, which could create significant amenity and nuisance effects for short periods of time; . Effects on traffic and transportation during construction of the Project. This includes speed limit reductions, lane narrowing, prevention of some transport movements, and additional construction traffic; . Construction water effects due to an increased risk of sediment being discharged to water bodies during construction activities, including works within streams and other water courses; . Effects on freshwater ecology due to increased sedimentation during construction; . Effects on landscape and visual amenity during construction, arising from earthworks and the removal of vegetation. Overall, these are expected to be very low to very high (depending on the location); . Effects associated with disturbance of contaminated land, which will be managed; . Effects associated with working within the closed Rosedale Landfill, including hazards from refuse, gas and leachate. These could be significant without appropriate management; . Social effects during construction, such as annoyance and disruption from noise, vibration, dust, traffic disruption, and business disruption; Effects on network utilities which exist in the Project area and which may require relocation or protection (discussed in Section 4). Permanent adverse effects . Operational noise effects will in most instances be similar to those which would have been experienced without the Project. Nonetheless, noise barriers and building modification are proposed in some locations; . Effects on archaeology and historic heritage during operation are expected to be low to nil; . Vibration effects during operation are expected to be negligible for all receivers; . Increased stormwater arising from additional impervious surfaces. This will be managed using additional stormwater structures, but may lead to increases in peak flood levels in some locations (with reduced peak flood levels in other locations); . Effects on freshwater ecology due to increased stormwater runoff and additional culverting. These effects are expected to be less than minor; . Effects on landscape and visual amenity arising from the loss of open space and vegetation, which are expected to be moderate to low, (depending on the location); . Negligible effects arising from the completion of works within Rosedale Landfill possibly impacting on groundwater recharge; . Localised social effects arising from the impacts on reserves. These effects range from minor to significant. Businesses will also be affected by the need to relocate, or effects on their access; . Effects on cultural heritage and Tangata Whenua values, which will be mitigated by managing effects on water, ecology, and identifying opportunities for Tangata Whenua to exercise kaitiakitanga;
